and do not clean a sensor with a sharp orabrasive object that can scratch or
damage its surface.Caution: Do not install accessories or
stickers on or near the parking sensors.
Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without
audible feedback. To turn chimes on or off,
touch Controls > Safety & Security > Park
Assist Chimes .
To mute the chimes temporarily, press the
scroll button on the left side of the steering
wheel or touch the mute button in the corner
of the Park Assist view. The chimes are muted
until you shift into a different gear or drive
over 8 km/h.
Limitations and False Warnings The parking sensors may not function
correctly in these situations:

Vehicle Hold
When Model S is stopped, Vehicle Hold can
continue to apply the brakes even after you
remove your foot from the brake pedal. When
driving on a hill or on a

Acceleration Modes
The acceleration settings available on your Model S vary depending on date of
manufacture and options chosen at time of
purchase:

Launch Mode
Launch Mode, available on Performance All-
Wheel Drive vehicles only, provides optimum acceleration on surfaces with good traction.
Note: Hard acceleration including, but not
limited to, using launch mode, increases stress
on the vehicle

Active Hood
How Active Hood Works Some Model S vehicles (depending on market
region and date of manufacture) feature a
pedestrian protection system with an Active
Hood that is designed to reduce head injuries
to pedestrians and cyclists in a frontal
collision. Multiple sensors at the front of the
vehicle are designed to detect impact with a
pedestrian when Model S is moving between
approximately 19 and 53 km/h, and raise the
rear portion of the hood automatically
approximately 80 mm. This increases the space between the hood and components
beneath it, reducing the likelihood of injuries.
Note: The pedestrian protection system relies
on a series of sensors and algorithms
designed and calibrated to determine when
Active Hood should deploy. Therefore, not all
pedestrian collisions will lead to a deployment.
Similarly, the Active Hood may deploy if
Model S collides with an animal, vehicle, or other object.
If Active Hood has been deployed, the
instrument panel displays an alert and a chime sounds. Immediately take Model S to thenearest Tesla Service Center. Active Hood

Getting Maximum Range
Driving Tips to Maximize Range
You can maximize your driving range using
the same driving habits that you use to conserve fuel in a gasoline-powered vehicle. In
addition to driving habits, energy
consumption depends on environmental conditions (such as exceptionally cold or hot
weather and driving on roads with steep hills). To get the maximum range from a charge:
